The Imperium of Altrizons is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Eternal Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.348 billion Altrizonsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandanpolis. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Altrizonsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,160 trillion Blemflarcks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 338,113 Blemflarcks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, pharmaceutical warships enforce patent agreements with surgical precision, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, and the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Altrizons's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is BunBunism.

Altrizons is ranked 314,679^th in the world and 15,244^th in Balder for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -32 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
